Argie weirdo, I need opinions guys!

[Marian]

Hello! there
Well, a few days ago I got this argie rock pony. I bought her thinking she was a hair variant, but when I popped out her head I found that she is a rehair . The thing is that she's an extremely rare rehair, first because she has original argie pony hair (I can tell that by texture, colors and also the tail has the typical metal washer of argies) and secod for the way of the plugs are tied to her head. On them hair looks like it was sewed, it comes inside the head on a hole and comes out for the paralel hole. And the work is extremely clean, no hair mess at all. I've been thinking how did they do this? I can't imagine a way. Also I asked to the seller if he reahaired the pony, he said no, and the told me he bought her to a person who had it since his childhood.
I've been wondering if she could have been rehaired on that famous toy hospital that existed on 80´s but I don't know anyone that has a pony to compare.
What do you guys think?

oooh cool!!!
and the cut of her hair looks perfect too!
the ones that I have had that were rehaired in argentina had that weird shiny hair so ive never had one that looks so legit
is it the exact color of the normal rock pony?

[Roogna]

I saw that auction, but didn't look that close at the hair (since I have that pony). if it's legit that's cool

Can't help you, but I can say this pony is very beautiful!!

oh good for you to snag her!!! I saw she had white/yellow in her tail in that pic... and thought "hmmm..." but I'd already snagged a bunch of others and wasn't positive if it was just a color saturation or a rehair.  The "normal" that I have has crinkly curly orange and yellow = and only a single color in the tail.  here's mine =

oooh I hope for you she is a variant!

Forgot to add. Hair is a perfect match on the orange, but the streak is white instead of  yellow. Also she has a white streak on hair tail too, normal rock pony doesn't and also her hair is straight, the normal has wavy hair

I know Brazil  had a doll hospital - did Argentina have one as well?

As you say, the Brazil doll hospital service always made sense as doll hospitals started out in Portugal I believe...restoring toys was always popular in countries and societies where toys needed to last longer than in other countries where unfortunately toys were more disposable by nature. So I wouldnt be surprised if Argentina in the 80s had several city based or even a central dolls hospital facility.

Do you think we should call our modern day restorers "pony doctors"?

so anybody expert-y know if the argie is a rehair or an oddball?? 

[angelponies]

I would think either a factory oops or DH rehair 

[maycrestmom]

he he - yeah that's the dilemma on evaluation a value ain't it, then - I hope that one's an oddity = it'd be cool to discover a variant
